Best Metal Vocal Performances

Who doesn't like Dio's voice? He sings with so much passion and power. It's so great to hear his voice.

One of the best screams I have ever heard. That moment when his voice goes more high pitched.

This is perhaps the metal song with the most intricate vocals because it has many vocal tracks recorded individually to create vocal harmonies and a choir effect when there's no choir. Only the lead singer, Hansi Kürsch, sings all overlapping vocal tracks. And the song is 14:06 minutes long. This long song has so many tracks that it alone needed as much production time as the rest of the album (A Night at the Opera, 2002).

Also my 4th favorite song of all time. Astronomically epic!

That scream in the song is very well performed with the evil cackle.

Impressive sustain - 11 secs; there are also many other nice moments.

His screams gave me goosebumps. I didn't know Phil could do this with his voice.

In some sense this should be #1. The format of this vocal performance is unusual (group of 8 top metal singers) but it's pure eargasm.
